The Begnals franchise are starting their 48th year in existence. They have won 5 playoff games in 48 years. The Bengals have had 9 Head Coaches in that 48 year span. One coach has won 2 (Gregg) and one has won 3 (Wyche). None of those playoff victories mean squat since they didn't win their last playoff game.
The object isn't to win a certain 'number' of playoff games, the object is to win the 'last' playoff game.
Holy f**k... five playoff wins in 48 seasons. That is astonishing to even look at.
I also agree with you about winning the last game. We can all find moral victories in making the playoffs or having a successful regular season, but if you don't win the last game it really does not matter for much. Somehow, some way, this team needs to find the fortitude to take the next step. The city and the fan base deserve more than five wins in 48 seasons.
